• CIOs beware: IT teams are changing

  The pandemic accelerated a trend that CIOs long knew was coming: Technology is the linchpin of a successful organization, and it is the IT team’s responsibility to manage it effectively whether the landscape is in-office, hybrid, or remote. As with any evolution, traditional IT functions such as answering support tickets, patchworking systems, and making ad hoc changes to end-user software are no longer the primary focus of their roles.

  In 2021, 94% of IT professionals agreed that their roles and responsibilities have moved away from simply provisioning IT equipment and are now focused on providing solutions that promote employee collaboration and productivity. This research highlights that only 40 percent of an IT professional’s day is spent on “keeping the lights on” – software upgrades, troubleshooting requests, etc. The rest of their day is spent developing larger organizational strategies and employee experience tasks.

• Future of BIOS RAID support in the installer

  Hi, I am planning to change how we support BIOS RAID (sometimes also called Firmware or Fake RAID) in the installer in the future. I plan to go through the official Fedora change process for Fedora 38, but I'd like to get some feedback first.

  We are currently using dmraid to support these types of RAIDs in blivet[1] (storage library the Anaconda installer uses) and we would like to replace it with mdadm. The main reason is that dmraid is no longer actively maintained, but it will also mean one less dependency for the installer (we use mdadm for the software RAID support) and one less service running during boot (dmraid-activation.service).
